You ever feel too damn tired to get out of your own way?Yeah.

I don't know why I bother getting out of bed, anymore.

	Well that's when you make other people come to you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I don't think you'd want to see me like this, Johanna. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't be any worse than having been chewed on by a wolf, can it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 01:16 am UTC (link)
	That's about what it feels like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Hm. Good point, and I'll admit that I hardly look as if I were chewed by a wolf, but I certainly was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 01:44 am UTC (link)
	You were...oh. I mean. Are you all right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm perfectly alright, I gave as good as I got. Though woe betide them both if he ever decides to come out of hiding again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 01:47 am UTC (link)
	That's good. I mean. I'm surprised you let him live. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Well, I do generally consider him a friend, and he isn't always a wolf, just when it behooves him, I suppose. Of the two of them he is the dangerous one, his brother is far more easily swayed and is his weak point. And just what is it you've been doing that leaves you feeling as if you'd been chewed on by a wolf? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Friendship is such a pesky thing. I haven't been doing anything. That's the problem. I dropped out of school last year, I don't have a job. I'm just barely existing anymore, and it sucks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 02:10 am UTC (link)
	Well then it sounds to me like we should find you something to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 02:37 am UTC (link)
	There's not much I can do, with this useless hand of mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 02:42 am UTC (link)
	So you can't play piano or guitar, but that's rather overrated as a career if you ask me. Could be a painter, or a portrait artist, charcoal is actually more forgiving than people think, or you could be an author, or a stand-up comedian. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 02:49 am UTC (link)
	I think the last one is out. If I wanted to try my hand at portraits, would you pose for me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 02:53 am UTC (link)
	Of course I would. I can even lend you supplies, provided you don't mind acrylics, I tried oils at first, but they're ... hm... they're softer, harder to work with, and watercolors are just plain fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Well, I have to start somewhere, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 03:00 am UTC (link)
	Well of course. When's a good time for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Let me consult my calendar. Oh look. I'm free pretty much all the time. Any time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 03:10 am UTC (link)
	That sounds about like my own schedule. Would you like me to bring supplies to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:12 am UTC (link)
	If it's really not a problem. I don't want to put you out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Of course not, just give me a few minutes to gather everything and I'll be on my way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:31 am UTC (link)
	I'm not going anywhere. Except maybe into the shower. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-19 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Well it's a good thing I know where to find you then. I'll be there soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:40 am UTC (link)
	It seems I have been invited to your sitting, darling. Would you care for me to bring you a drink? I'm going to be bringing one for Gatlin and I. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh! Marvelous! It shall be wonderful to see you again, I'm afraid I've made myself scarce since I've had a place of my own, I really ought to stop doing that.

Turpin frowned on drink, though there were occasions when gin helped calm my nerves. I haven't had much reason for jangled nerves or for gin in some time, but I suppose if you're bringing drinks you might as well bring enough for everyone.

	Damn my luck. I cannot make it tonight, darling. It seems a certain friend has decided to regrow a conscience, after months at rest. But I will have a drink, and perhaps a meal, with you, this week? It has been far too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kai notjustblonde 2009-09-19 04:26 am UTC (link)
	Of course, whenever you're free, I've an abundance of time, it seems. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:20 am UTC (link)
	It is very difficult to come across a drink in your bed. I have the same problem, at times. Can I do something, Gatlin? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:28 am UTC (link)
	~~You know what it is I want you do to for me.~~ It is a pisser of a problem, let me tell you. Just now, I have a beautiful young lady coming to pose for me. I'm going to attempt to capture her likeness in a portrait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:32 am UTC (link)
	I could always bring you a drink, you realize. But not if you are expecting company. I was not aware your artistic talent extended to paper. You'll have to let me see it, when you are done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:34 am UTC (link)
	You could. Just bring enough for three. Although I don't know if she cares for drink, as such. It's Johanna Barker. I'd have expected she would have written me off months ago, but apparently she still has a soft spot for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:38 am UTC (link)
	I shall ask her, then. I should have known. And who would not? You are not as menacing a man as you would have people believe, Gatlin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:40 am UTC (link)
	All right. I'm not a very good friend, though. I get too wrapped up in my own problems, like nothing and no one else matters. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:45 am UTC (link)
	You will find I have been doing that far longer, and far more consuming, than you could ever hope to achieve, friend. Do not be so hard on yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 03:50 am UTC (link)
	Well, yeah. You're like several hundred years older than me. You've had more time to be a jerk. It's kind of a man thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-09-19 03:57 am UTC (link)
	'Jerk', I believe, is the kindest way I have heard it put. But something of that nature, yes. [Gatlin] I will have to pass, tonight, I am afraid. Rurik needs me. Enjoy your time with our dear Johanna, and I will see you tomorrow perhaps, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kai gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 04:03 am UTC (link)
	I understand. Give Rurik my best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gatlin volos 2009-09-19 04:10 am UTC (link)
	One day, I may ask you to explain it to me. The bastard does not deserve this. But I will see you tomorrow. Drinks. Perhaps dinner? I can bring to you. If you still aren't leaving bed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kai gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 04:12 am UTC (link)
	Shock of all horrors, I'm even going to shower, before Johanna comes over tonight. He may not deserve it, but you don't deserve shit from me for going to him. I have always known I come in second. Perhaps third, fourth, or lower. I'm okay with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gatlin volos 2009-09-19 07:05 pm UTC (link)
	I am certain the lady will appreciate it, darling. I make no apology for him, I could not, after... well. I am responsible for him, now. But do not think that makes you... less, to me, Gatlin. I owe you my life, in a way. You are nothing less than a lover to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kai gatlin_harris 2009-09-19 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I hope so. But, I should go so I have time. I want to be out of the shower by the time she gets here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
